Acelity Announces Pricing of $1,750 Million of 9.625% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes

Acelity L.P. Inc. (“Acelity”), a global advanced wound care and regenerative medicine company, announced today the pricing of the private offering by its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kinetic Concepts, Inc. (“KCI”) and KCI USA, Inc. (together with KCI, the “Issuers”), of $1,750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.625% second lien senior secured notes due 2021 (the “Notes”).

The Issuers intend to use the gross proceeds from the Notes offering, together with proceeds of a $100.0 million equity contribution by Acelity's sponsors (the “Equity Contribution”) and cash on hand (including borrowings under the Issuers’ revolving credit facility), to redeem $1,750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of their outstanding 10.5% second lien senior secured notes due 2018 and to pay the fees and expenses related to such offering, redemption, the Equity Contribution and other financing transactions. The consummation of the Notes offering is conditioned upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Equity Contribution.

The Notes offering is expected to close on September 20, 2016, subject to customary closing conditions.

The offering of the Notes will be made in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), only to “qualified institutional buyers” in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release does not and will not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor will there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The Notes and the related note guarantees have not and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
